With just one week left until Henley 2014 we thought we would pick out some of the best hats we have in store for this seasons Royal Regatta. For the stewards' enclosure ladies are required to wear dresses or skirts with a hemline below the knee, it is also customary for the ladies to wear hats.

This bright pink straw hat will add a pop of colour to any outfit and features a stripe and feather detailing that resembles two boating oars.
